Marriage is long and desires are strong

A threat purely between men.

Qin Xiaoye was already extremely irritated, especially when Jiang Wei's hand landed on Lu Ji's arm. The surge of violent anger within him rushed to his heart, washing over him again and again.

Qin Xiaoye held back, gripping Lu Ji's neck tightly and refusing to let go: "Don't think that just because you have the Lu family background I won't dare to make a move."

The veins on his arms were bulging, his muscles were taut, and his dark eyes were fixed on Lu Ji. His breathing was heavy, carrying a clear sense of suppressed anger.

Lu Ji seduced his wife right in front of him. Did he think he was dead?

Lu Ji raised his eyes to look at Qin Xiaoye, a half-smile playing on his lips, but his voice remained indifferent: "Qin Xiaoye, did she marry you willingly?"

Qin Xiaoye was taken aback, his imposing aura diminished slightly, and he sneered, "Of course."

Lu Ji remained calm as the man gripped his neck, his expression as serene as if painted with ink: "I don't think so."

"Qin Xiaoye, did you take advantage of her vulnerability to marry her? You know the answer in your heart."

Qin Xiaoye narrowed his eyes, tightened his grip on Lu Ji's neck, and said, "She agreed to marry me, and we have a very good relationship after marriage."

"Lu Ji, you know very well what the Lu family did in the past, and whether it can withstand scrutiny."

"I don't mind bringing up what happened twenty years ago. The Lu family finally managed to get rid of their past in the underworld, and you don't want all that progress to be wasted, do you?"

Lu Ji's breathing slowed, but he laughed instead: "Qin Xiaoye, your tricks may fool others, but they won't fool me."

"I know as much about power as you do about it."

Michel Foucault said: "If I have not forced you at all and have left you in a completely free state, yet you still choose the path that I have set for you, that is when I begin to exercise power."

"Qin Xiaoye, didn't you pave this path for Jiang Wei, forcing her to take it?"

"She and Li Si were childhood sweethearts, but their engagement was called off due to family background issues. However, there's always a chance if you fight back. And you, you seized this opportunity and asked to marry her. At that time, the Jiang family was on the verge of bankruptcy."

"Was she really doing it voluntarily?"

Qin Xiaoye's face was grim as he stared at Lu Ji, letting out a cold laugh: "No matter what, it's none of your business. Who are you? Meddling in other people's family affairs?"

He slowly lowered his hand, withdrawing the hand that was gripping Lu Ji: "Remember, stay away from her. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook."

A chilling aura of malevolence emanated from him, and his tall figure stood firmly in the room, his powerful presence pressing down on Lu Ji.

Lu Ji was released and smiled: "Qin Xiaoye, as long as Jiang Wei tells me she wants a divorce, I will definitely help her get one."

"Don't even think about trapping her."

"Give her freedom and let her make her own choices; that is true voluntariness."

The two shadows inside the room were very dark.

After Lu Ji finished speaking, he turned around, pushed open the door, walked out, and slammed the door shut.

Inside the door, all was quiet.

Qin Xiaoye stood silently facing the wall, his shadow cast on it.

The sunlight streaming in slanted down onto his profile, half bathed in a soft, translucent golden light, highlighting his sharp, defined features, while the other half was shrouded in varying shades of shadow.

The interplay of light and shadow on his cold, hard features made the emotions in his eyes appear obscure and difficult to discern, adding to his sense of oppression and violence.

After a long while, he slowly exhaled.

He composed himself, his chaotic and agitated aura dissipating, and transformed back into the calm and dignified tycoon. He slowly opened the door and stepped outside.

Passing by Jiang Wei's clinic, I looked at her through the sunflowers in the vase at the doorway.

Jiang Wei, gentle and meticulous, is examining a brown teddy dog.

Teddy was huddled in the arms of an older woman, his front paws covering his nose, looking like he had been bullied terribly.

The older sister said, "He went downstairs for a walk and ran into a female Great Pyrenees, much bigger than Wangcai. Wangcai went up to her thinking... uh, to mate with her. Wangcai is male."

"As a result, the polar bear lowered its head and sniffed it, then nudged it with its nose, knocking it upside down."

"But look, Wangcai is a little injured, but the wound isn't big. However, he won't eat anything and just stays listless. What should we do?"

While treating Wangcai's wounds, Jiang Wei said, "Its pride has been hurt."

The older woman was stunned: "Does a dog have self-respect?"

Jiang Wei: "Of course, males will always be sad when their courtship fails. For males, courtship is not just about not having a mating opportunity; they will mix the rejection with their self-esteem and feel that the other party looks down on them."

The older woman suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder some men get attacked with knives after being rejected or dumped by women. They feel looked down upon, not that they love them."

Jiang Wei: "Of course, love means wanting the other person to be happy, even if they are not by your side. If they can be happy, that is their greatest wish."

"Being refused a chance to kill is just impotent rage; they only know how to swing their knives at the weak. It's a manifestation of their desire for control."

Unaware that Qin Xiaoye was watching from the doorway, Jiang Wei chatted casually with her older sister. Her hair was loose, tied up with a hair clip, with a few strands of black hair hanging down beside her ears. She wore a white coat, her face was pure white, and her movements were professional, quick, and gentle.

Qin Xiaoye heard the sentence: Love is wanting the other person to be happy, even if they are not by your side.

He swallowed hard.

Lu Ji's question came to her ears: Was she doing it voluntarily?

The older woman chatted and laughed in the consultation room: "That's why men are so eager to find virgins."

Jiang Wei tilted her head and smiled: "Men demand that women be clean while they themselves are not, because they're afraid of being compared. They want women to discover that they're small and inadequate. I guess you could call it self-awareness."

"Actually, the more you interact with animals, the more you'll discover that humans also possess a lot of animalistic traits. It's just that humans have a sense of shame and constantly try to hide them."

The older sister said, "What about my son Wangcai's self-esteem?"

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "It'll be fine in a couple of days. Let's focus on recovering first."

Qin Xiaoye stood at the door for a long while, then slowly walked out of the hospital.

My mood sank.

He stood at the hospital entrance and made a phone call: "Xiang Dong, I need to ask you something."

Xiang Dong: "President Qin, please speak."

Qin Xiaoye looked across the street, his gaze settling on a figure. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. "Where can I buy wedding rings?"

Jiang Wei should wear a ring so that she won't be coveted wherever she goes.

It was his fault; he should have bought the ring sooner.

A possessive desire kept welling up inside him; it would be safer to keep her.

Xiang Dong was speechless for a moment, then suddenly delighted: "President Qin, why don't you buy the diamond ring at the same time? There's an auction going on soon, would you like to bring your wife?"

Qin Xiaoye looked at the figure and said in a deep voice, "Okay. Send me the information and address."

He hung up the phone.

He met Li Si's gaze from afar.

The two people were separated by a street and saw each other.
